CHAPTER 5

"I'll see you tomorrow, Billy" Alexis said before closing the door of the car and walking hand in hand with Samantha.

As they got to her room the two couldn't contain their excitement to have each other again. They can't control themselves whenever they are alone together.

Samantha pulls Alexis to bed as they kiss each other, taking the long sleeves off after she undo the buttons. Alexis stopped and looked at the breath-taking woman in front of her.

"Are you gonna stare at me all night?" Samantha teased her with a giggle.

Whenever Alexis hears her giggles it sounds like a beautiful melody to her.

She took off the dress she is wearing and started devouring the woman that has made her crazy since they met.

The two took turns to pleasure each other the entire night and stopped when both of them were too tired yet both satisfied.

Samantha cuddles closer to Alexis, feeling content, she never felt this way before. This man she thinks she met a few days ago is someone who is gonna sweep her feet away.

Before falling asleep she took a deep breath taking the smell of the man she's started catching feelings with.

The next day the two woke up because of loud knocks. Alexis reached for her phone to look at the time. It's already one in the afternoon, they both overslept again. Samantha on the other hand giggles at the man's reaction seeing how late it is.

"What are you laughing at?" Alexis asked then started tickling the woman on her bed.

"You look cute when you look like that?" She pointed out the shock expression of Alexis.

"I'm not cute, I'm lovely" Alexis said and pouted. Samantha pinches both her cheeks and mouthed "cute" then goes grab the covers, pulling them off the bed, making Alexis bare naked once again.

She shakes her head, because it happened again. Actually it happens whenever they sleep together.

While Samantha is in the bathroom, Alexis grabs her things and wears them, getting in front of her suite to see who's banging the door.

"Who is it?" As she opened the door she received a knock on her forehead.

'Why does it happen to me often'

"Hello cousin" A smirking woman said and got inside her unit before she welcomed her to go in.

"Jules?" shocked all over her face, she didn't expect her to be here, after that call she told her she can't be here and helped her with the mission of getting the plate. Now all of a sudden she's here?

Suddenly a dressed Samantha, wearing Alexis white shirt and boxers appeared at the living area.

Alexis was impressed by how beautiful her bella looks wearing her clothes.

"Who is she?" Both women asked at the same time.

"She's my cousin Julia. Julia met Samantha" Alexis introduced the two women. The two women shook their hands, still staring at Alexis between them.

"I'll leave you two here, I need to cook some food first. Jules we need to talk later"

Alexis hurriedly walked to the kitchen and prepared something that her fridge had. She took some eggs, bacon, a bread and other things she needed for the "French Toast"

While she is busy preparing the food the two women are getting to know each other. They quickly got comfortable with each other. Julia asks plenty of questions, while Samantha politely answers them.

"How long are you two together?" Julia asked while thinking her cousin's taste in women is on the next level of beauty.

"Just a few days, '' Samantha answered bluntly.

"Let me get this straight, you like my cousin don't you?" Julia being so frank asks her and notices how Samantha blushes which confirms she likes Alexis. It made her feel happy for her always busy cousin to finally like someone.

"Don't tell Alex, but I am starting to catch feelings for him" 'Him?' Julia thought.

This woman doesn't know Maxxy is a woman with a buddy? It's for her to tell this woman not for me to spill it out.

"The food is ready" Alexis yelled and the two women looked in the direction where Alexis is walking closer to them. She handed Samantha a plate with french toast, scrambled eggs and some bacon, she then put a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice in front of her.

Alexis having the same meal with Samantha, but only having a coffee. She also handed her cousin a glass of apple juice and a piece of french toast.

Whenever Alexis makes the toast she always wants one so Alexis prepared some extra for her cousin who showed up unannounced.

After the three finished their meal, Samantha took a shower. The two left downstairs talking about something important, "Why did you suddenly show up, Jules?"

"Well I am here to check on you, and here" Julia handed her an envelope, Alexis looked confused and curious about the envelope in her hand.

"I'm done, let's go" Samantha suddenly appeared behind them looking fabulous.

Julia leaned closer to her ears and whispered "she's hot" Alexis absentmindedly nodded while saying "she is"  Julia chuckled and said goodbye to Samantha. She went to Alexis' living room, turned on the television and enjoyed some Italian tv shows.

Alexis drove Samantha to her place, the two talked about when they should meet again, Alexis took a deep breath and finally decided to ask, "I want to take you on a date, that is only if you agree?" Samantha, who is obviously surprised, smiled widely and hugged Alexis.

"Yes of course. You are really a snail" Samantha teased how slow she is. Alexis pouted cutely again, making the other girl pinch both of her cheeks.

"I'll see you on Monday for our DATE" Alexis said emphasizing the word DATE.  A smiling Samantha nodded, Alexis not knowing that deep inside the classy woman was screaming excitedly.

Alexis left her place and drove back to her hotel suite. Upon arriving she saw her cousin laying on her couch, a bowl of Caesar salad on the table, and a glass of wine.

"Enjoying some fine wine I see" that made Julia look behind her, "well you were taking your time with your girl, without noticing you were gone for almost two hours. And don't tell me there was traffic." Julia who was laughing at her cousin's face, who's looking at her watch and with mouth agape.

The two drank the bottle of wine Julia had been drinking, Alexis decided to call the room service to make them fish and chips, and some fried chicken. As the time passes the two become so drunk and the drunken conversation started, "So you like her huh?" Julia teased her cousin "I won't lie. I do like her, she makes me feel crazy about her '' Alexis talking more about Samantha, laughing, smiling, and blushing, Julia taking notice her cousin is falling into that woman.

Both cousins fell asleep on the couch, they finished three bottles of fine wine, and another bottle of vodka. The next morning they both woke up with a hangover, laughing at each other's messy hair. Julia then bid her goodbye to her cousin. She needs to leave in the afternoon, she is only staying for a day in Italy to give her cousin the envelope, and talk to her about the progress of finding the artifact. Her suggesting some solutions too, and giving her some of her intels to her cousin, for Alexis to be done soon.

"Oh Billy, is something wrong?" Billy who's at the entrance of her suite standing, panting.

"Miss, our subordinates got information about what you are looking for, they said there's another auction this Wednesday and the young miss you brought with you will be there too" Alexis nodded gathering the information. She is feeling ecstatic that she is finally closer to the artifact.

She thanked his assistant, and told him to prepare them another invitations for the auction, and whatever they needed to be.

Sunday has passed and today is Monday. Samantha and her friends have been busy shopping for new clothes. They heard the two will have a date and being Samantha's friend they treated her to a nail salon, and spa. They said it will make her more beautiful, and that Alexis will surely fall in love when she sees Samantha.

Looking at herself in the mirror, wearing a black floral print, v-neck long sleeves, checking herself thinking if the guy she is meeting tonight will like how she looks. She never felt so conscious before about how she looks, not until she met Alexis. Hearing her door bell ringing, she quickly took her purse and phone on the table, glanced at herself for the last time and went to open the door.

"You look breathtaking" Alexis said while still checking her out. She blushes, Alexis offering her hand for her to hold. The two walk hand in hand, and people who noticed them, can't help but stare.

Some of them think, how can two beautiful inhuman people exist. Some group of teenagers, crushing over Alexis while the two walk near their car. They all giggled, catching the attention of Alexis. She turns to look over them and smiles, Samantha noticing the girls, she smirks, telling how confident she is that man is hers, so she wink at them, then she hears them groaning in defeat, she chuckles as she enters the passenger seat.

Tonight, Alexis decided not to be accompanied by her assistant, Billy. She wanted to drive her and Samantha to their dinner date, she booked. She made sure to put the location on the car, for them not to get lost.

"You look not bad tonight" Samantha decided to tease the man a little.

"Not bad? I look dashing" Alexis said confidently, which earned a soft heavenly giggle from the girl that made her feel crazy.

When they arrived at the place, the two graced the restaurant with their beauty, some stopped eating just to stare at them, other couples who stared at them noticed their partners gawking, and suddenly ended up quarreling.

The two were guided to a vacant table just for them, Alexis booked like seven table spaces for them to enjoy a little further from everyone.

"You surely did prepare for this" Samantha said then took a bite of her lasagna.

"Of course. I need to impress you, did it work?" Alexis said while wiggling her brows. Samantha nodded with a beautiful smile.

They both enjoyed their dinner time talking about a lot of things. The two decided to take a walk, her bella suggested for them to eat a gelato, which Alexis agreed, that means more time.

"There is another event I need to attend, and I want to invite you as my plus one, I hope you don't say no this time" Alexis only hummed as she enjoyed her strawberry and yogurt flavored gelato.

Samantha snatched her gelato and lick them to taste, Alexis who is looking at her date looking so sexy while licking her dessert felt her little buddy getting a little hard, "stop that, you look so sexy when you do that"

"Do what? Like this?" Samantha doing it again, making Alexis gasp for air, trying to calm herself not to feel turned on by this beautiful girl in front of her.

"Is it on Wednesday? Another auction?" Samantha nodded and let Alexis lick her chocolate flavored gelato.

"I am actually planning to go there for the auction. Now that you're inviting me, then I should really go there as your date" after saying that, Alexis pulled Samantha closer to her leaning closer to her bella. Samantha's hand snake around her nape, while the other holding her gelato, Alexis pecked her lips, Samantha deepening it when Alexis started pulling away.

Both enjoying each other's lips, not noticing their gelato are starting to melt, and some passersby looking at them. Someone from the strangers cleared their throat, making the pair pull away from each other. Samantha blushing, while Alexis smirks, not caring of other people, because she only enjoys spending time with her bella.

A few days have passed and it is Wednesday. The two had spent their Tuesdays at Samantha's place, of course another night of them enjoying each other again after their date that Monday evening.

Alexis will be picking Samantha at her place with Billy being their driver, her subordinates will be meeting them at the auction.

A phone call caught Samantha's attention, she picked it up and answered. Upon hearing the voice from another line, it made her smile. "I'll be out in a minute, see you" She said while putting her earrings on. Getting her small handbag, where her cards, cash and phone are placed inside.

Samantha saw Alexis standing outside of the gray Audi RS7 car, wearing cotton collared long sleeves, then covered it with a blue velvet blazer, and a black pants that suited Alexis perfectly.

Alexis smiled seeing Samantha walking closely. Reaching for her hand, kissing the back of her palm. When the both of them are seated at the backseat, Billy starts driving towards where the auction is located, the two who are holding hands at the back have a comfortable silence. Alexis kisses Samantha's hand whenever she feels like it.

Samantha enjoyed it silently. Her heart beating fast, feeling those butterflies again. She really enjoys spending her time with Alexis. If she isnt needed to that auction, she probably have Alexis in her room, or her own Alexis' suite pleasuring and enjoying each other for the night again.

At the venue, Alexis stood beside her. As the two walked inside, the people who knew her greeted her, assisting her to follow them to her seat. Alexis with Billy following, she instructed him to tell her companions to keep an eye on the item they have been looking for weeks.

"You were looking for something?" Samantha asked curiously to her date.

Alexis nodded and answered, "Yes, I am. I told you once that I am here just for a couple of weeks." Remembering that, Samantha suddenly feels a bit sad.

If that's the case, their time together is running out. Alexis noticed the sadness on Samanttha’s face, she lifted her chin and stared at her sad eyes.

"That doesn't mean, I am not coming back after I come back to the states. I will come back for you" Alexis smiled and kissed Samantha's cheeks.

The two having their little world, not noticing the event is starting. The organizer was looking for Samantha, who was busy with her date. They called the others to call her on stage already, because the important artifacts are coming out.

"Miss Bianchi, it's time," one of the staff said. Alexis nodded and smiled at her bella.

Samantha now on stage talking on the mic, Alexis being vigilant of the important pieces represented in the center. First one to come out was a ceramic jar aged for a thousand years. It is an antique but the price of the bidders kept on rising. Starting from €40.000, now the last bid to call is €210.000.

"Sold to Mister Chen for €210.00, please follow the staff for signing." Samantha said and then another not so important artworks came out one after the other until...

"Next here we have a 16th century Italian Plate, everyone look at this" the staff take the clothing that covered the item, Samantha explaining about its origin and who is the artist.

Alexis cant stop looking at the item she has been looking for, now it is in front of her, and within a little time it will be hers, and she can finally feel relieved to get what her abuela wanted for her birthday.

"Number 10, for €330.000" another raised her number and bid for €380.000.

Alexis studying her competitors of how they plan to bid, "Number 05, for €450.000, is there anyone to bid..." a few seconds paused "calling once, calling twice"

"€500.000" someone from the crowd called out, Alexis was gonna raise her card but someone bit her first.

"€600.000" another one from the crowd bid higher than the other. Everyone murmurs that they reached their peak. The competition is still on, Alexis just keeping her senses on. She wants to be the bidder to have that item, it is her grandmother's wish.

"€860.000" everyone gasped when a bidder bid much higher, the last bid called out was €650.000, the other competing swearing that they can no longer bid higher, some said their limit is only at €1.000.000 and if they continue they cant compete for another item coming out.

"€900.000, calling once..." Alexis, looking around if somebody will bid to fight the woman, "...calling twice" Samantha said on the mic, looking at the guest who was bidding, she stared at Alexis for a little, she noticed Alexis had a blank look when the plate came out.

"€1.500.000" Everyone in the crowd gasped, including the woman who had the last bid.

Everyone looks around, looking at the person raising the card. One of the emcees called out "€1.500.000, calling once, calling twice... calling thrice. Sold!" Samantha was still shocked.

"Sir, please follow the staff and sign the papers and proceed for payment" a staff walk beside Alexis, assisting her to follow to another area. The crowd who are left silenced, murmur about the person who bid insanely.

Samantha excused herself from the host. She told them to please carry on the auction, she needed to go somewhere important this instance.

She knew Alexis is rich by how she closely spent time together. But she didn't know Alexis is insanely rich. "So that is what she has been looking for" she told herself and chuckled.

Alexis finishes paying, she finishes wiring the payment, they don't accept the check so she needs to wire the money. She then signed the papers she needed. She instructed Billy to wait for it to be put inside a box, and to carefully carry it back to her suite.

Her subordinate tasks are done, so she dismissed them. When she gets outside of the room, Samantha is there standing waiting patiently. "Hi" Samantha greeted.

"Is the event done already?" Alexis confusedly asked. Samantha nodded 'NO' made Alexis more confused why she is here if the program isn't finished yet.

"Well I excused myself to leave, and came here" she paused and looked Alexis in the eyes, "that was an insane amount to bid you know" Alexis chuckles, reaching for her bella's hand.

She squeezes her hand lightly, then makes her follow somewhere private.

"I've been looking for that for my abuela. Of course I will bid till I can have it" she grinned, making her date pinch her cheeks, she still thinks she looks cute.

The two left the event not finishing the program, it is the first time Samantha left the auction without finishing it till the last item. The things she does with the man she is with.

They both decided to go for a nearby pizza place, like Alexis said bidding made her hungry, her date laughing at her childish remarks. Eating pizza in the middle of the night, walking to the street, Alexis called one of her subordinates to lend a car for them.

"Is there a beach near here?" Alexis looks at the most beautiful girl she set eyes on for the past weeks.

"Yeah, it is only an hour drive from here, why?" Samantha asked them to bite her cannoli, They did not just eat pizza but also bought some sweets.

"Let's go and spend a few days there. Now that I accomplished the mission my grandmother gave me, I am free"

When the car arrived, Samantha set the location of the nearest beach and they started driving. Alexis called the place they will spend the night for another few days to relax.

"I hope nobody knows I kidnapped you" Alexis joked, earning a smack on the shoulder from the other girl.

The two continued conversing while driving, Alexis holding Samantha's hand, kissing the back of its palm, while the other girl sneaking glancing at the person she is falling.

Thinking about spending a few days with just the two of them makes her happy and excited. She thinks she needed to confess her feelings before Alexis left the country. Thinking about the parting made her unhappy.
